Z Claims.

My invention relates broadly to toilet kits and more particularly to aportable and compact kit for carrying toilet articles which may besecured in a xed position when the kit is not in use.

'I'he object of my invention is to provide a compact, durable andattractive cabinet adapted to be conveniently used for housing toiletarticles such as shaving cream, tooth paste, ointments, tooth brushes,razor, blades, toilet water, styptic pencil and such incidentals as arenecessary to eifect a satisfactory toilet for a man or woman. Anotherobject of my invention is to provide an inexpensive and simplyconstructed toilet kit containing the aforesaid toilet articles; in anorderly assembly which can be readily carried on trips undertaken by anymeans of transportation and which can be easily attached to any planesurface for immediate use.

Other and further objects of my invention reside in the construction andthe organization of the toilet kit of my invention, as set forth morefully in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the toilet kit with its door ajar.

Figure 2 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the toilet kit taken online 2 2.

Figure 3 is an enlarged horizontal section of the toilet kit takenonline- 3--3.

Figure 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the discharge orice for thetoilet water container.

Referring to the drawing, in which like reference numerals. indicatelike parts, I designates the hinged door and 2 the. hollow back to whichthe door I is attached. The door 2 is preferably fabricated from onepiece of sheet metal or any other desirable material and consists of aforwardly projected rim portion 3 constituting the top, the sides andthe bottom of the door and. when the door is closed, of the cabinetitself.

The door I is rectangular in general outline and not only carriesseveral of the toilet accessories but serves importantly to shield theremaining articles attached to the back 2 in order that they may at alltimes be kept in a clean and sanitary condition. The door I can besecurely fastened to the back 2 by means of any appropriate clasp orcatch. 'Ihe front panel 4 of door I is highly polished to function as aplane mirror in order to assist one in the preparation of his toilet. Onthe inside of the panel 4 is attached a, holder 5 which can accommodatetwo or more tooth brushes 6.

On the forward side of the back 2 is mounted a holder I which consistsof a plurality of clips 8 55 which are adapted to hold Securely inposition a shaving brush 9 and two dispensers. It of plastic toiletpreparations, e. g. tooth paste, shaving cream, etc. The aforesaiddispensers I0 have been completely described in my Patent Number2,052,296, issued Aug. 25, 1936. 5

Mounted obliquely on the forward side of the back 2 and above the holder'I is a receptacle II, designed to hold the razor blades I2. Above thereceptacle I I is rigidly attached the clip.r holder I3 for the purposeof receiving the razor I4. The back 2 is somewhat recessed at I5 toaccommodate the guards I6 of the razor I4. Within the hollow back 2 isthe clip I3 which provides a mounting means for the bottle I9 containingsome liquid toilet preparation. The bottle I9 of conventional design andnot an integral part of my novel kit is fitted mouth downward into theflared metal flange 20 which is cushioned by the rubber gasket 2 I. Theflange 20 is joined to the right angle tube 22 through the end of whichis inserted a con- Ventio-nal valve 23. In use the application ofpressure by means of the hand to the plunger 24 will induce the flowoutwardly of a small quantity of the toilet preparation contained in thebottle I9. The hollow back 2 with its flaring side members 25 ispreferably fabricated of a single sheet of material and is adapted toslide between the counterpart inclining side members 26 of the wallplate Il and to rest securely upon the upwardly inclined bottom edge 21of the aforesaid wall 30 plate. The wall plate Il may be attached to thewall or plane surface by means of suction cups or hooks 28.

The manner of using` the cabinet or kit will be readily understood byreference to Figures 1 to 4 without indulging in an extendedexplanation. The kit is designed primarily to serve as a convenience inhotel and bath rooms and to properly keep together the articles requiredfor shaving or other toilet operations in a special place provided forthem.

I have found the toilet cabinet practical in its construction andarrangement and highly convenient in use and, while I have described apreferred embodiment of my invention, I desire that it be understoodthat modifications may be made and that no limitations upon my inventionare intended other than are imposed by the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is asfollows:
